While many marked the Christmas holidays with rest and celebration, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Nadowli-Kaleo, Hon. Mary Haruna, was actively on the ground, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring that development work in the district continues steadily and on schedule.
The DCE began the day with an engagement with party women in Kaleo, where discussions centred on plans towards a New Year Get-Together aimed at strengthening unity, participation, and collective action among women in the district. The interaction highlighted Hon. Mary Haruna’s deep-rooted passion for women’s empowerment, a cause she has consistently championed long before her appointment as DCE.
Her idea of feasting and engaging with party women goes beyond social bonding; it reflects a deliberate strategy to build confidence, solidarity, and economic resilience among women. Over the years, Hon. Haruna has organised numerous capacity-building workshops, equipping women with practical skills in the production of various goods. Today, many beneficiaries of these initiatives are self-employed, earning sustainable livelihoods and contributing to household and community development—clear evidence of the lasting impact of her empowerment agenda.
From Kaleo, the DCE proceeded to Siiru, where she held a fruitful engagement with the Tendanaa and the youth on the ongoing reshaping of the Siiru–Meguo and Zupirii roads. Community members shared their concerns regarding the project, particularly its pace and impact on daily activities. Hon. Mary Haruna listened attentively and reassured them of the Assembly’s unwavering commitment to improving road infrastructure, stressing that the project is expected to enhance movement, stimulate economic activities, and improve access to markets and social services upon completion.
These engagements form part of the DCE’s broader development strategy anchored on inclusive governance, community participation, and accountability. Her decision to work through the holiday period underscores her reputation as a dedicated and hardworking leader, focused on results rather than ceremonial appearances.
As Hon. Mary Haruna continues to engage women, youth, and traditional authorities across the district, she reinforces the belief that sustainable development is best achieved through collaboration with the people. Indeed, beyond the holidays, the DCE remains firmly committed to working with all stakeholders to build a prosperous and united Nadowli-Kaleo District.
